Black Bean & Squash Veggie Burgers

We always have people with a variety of eating preferences & palates attending our BBQ's. In response, I've always had fun experimenting with flavors and making new burgers for our get-togethers. This time I want to share one that was tried and tested with our family recently and is sure to be a hit at your summer BBQ's. This soy-free veggie burger is packed with flavor, that plays off the herby cilantro and spicy BBQ sauce, topped with an avocado slice on a sesame seed bun.

Thandai - Almond Saffron Milk




Holi is an ancient Hindu religious festival which has become popular with many people of other communities. In North America it has become a spring celebration of colors. It is celebrated on the last full moon of the Hindu calendar month marking the end of winter and the beginning of spring. 
Celebrations and games consist of throwing colored water or powders on each other and of course making and sharing snacks, desserts and drinks. 
Thandai is a traditional festival drink often associated with Maha Shivaratri and Holi. It usually consists of cold milk prepared with a mixture of almonds, fennel seeds, melon seeds, rose petals, pepper, cardamom, saffron, sugar, and sometimes Bhang (cannabis).  Just this weekend at our local Indian restaurant they were serving this traditional drink and I decided to try my hand at it. 
Here's my recipe:
